Coach Gary Kubiak said this week he thinks running back Arian Foster might be pressing a little too much.

"Am I pressing?" Foster said after practice Thursday. "No. I obviously want to make an impact for my team, but I'm not trying to do anything extra or out of my characteristics. It'll come. I've just got to be patient, and our team has to patient as far as the run game is concerned.

"We've got to not panic, you know? It's two games. We had lulls last year, and as a team, you're going to have lulls throughout the season."

"They're two different players, so we, as coaches, have to work around that," coach Gary Kubiak said. "(Vickers) is very physical. He did a good job (at Baltimore). I would expect him to be better this week. It's his show right now, so he needs to step up and do a good job."

Allen to play more

After last Sunday's 29-14 loss at Baltimore, coach Gary Kubiak said he thought cornerback Jason Allen should have played more. Kubiak said Thursday that Allen will get more playing time behind Kareem Jackson on Sunday.

"I think he'll play more," Kubiak said. "I do think Kareem played very well. They're going to both play, and how it's going to pan out numbers-wise, we'll wait and see.

"I'll give (defensive backs coach) Vance (Joseph) the rein to see how he feels from that standpoint."
